Red face Red Impreza Paint

I'm thinking about gettin' either a 2.5RS or WRX but I somewhat want it in red. But has anyone seen the paint fade over time?

Thanks.

we have an 02 sedona red and the paint is fine, but i think i know what you're worried about, i've seen older regular imprezas with RED color and the paint is all faded

Mine's a bit older than what you are looking at. It is a Red 98 Impreza...

The stock wing is turning Purple on top : (

Other than that the paint looks great with no other fading...

Yeah, I've seen older ones fade. I think I'll end up gettin' a regal blue rs or wr blue wrx when I get it.

Thanks a lot guys.

Is the easily chipped paint just in red or all colors for the impreza?

it's in all the colors, not just the red. My '02 WRB paint has taken a beating from road debris.
